um... I want that?
I agree but the remark shouldn’t have been made about the purchase that someone else makes. That watch may be all they could afford and weren’t planning on moving to the next expensive model. It sort of diminishes that person’s purchase.i was thinking some more about this
there really isnt anything wrong with buying an entry level model of a good brand if you'r just starting out and that's what you can pay wheather that's because that's all you can afford or its all you can justify spending on a new interest
you might not get all the bells and whistles but you should still be getting quality parts and workmanship and a good warrenty
oh absolutly Mamabean, its very bad mannersI agree but the remark shouldn’t have been made about the purchase that someone else makes. That watch may be all they could afford and weren’t planning on moving to the next expensive model. It sort of diminishes that person’s purchase.
Love your dad @Daisys and Diamonds!my dad used to enjoy his whiskey with water
every year a supplier would gift him for Christmas a hugmungus bottle of the then locally produced brand
which tasted fine
my dad also drunk Glennfiddich and chivas regal (excuse my spelling if thats wrong)
When we had guests who appreated and had a pallet for the good stuff he never hesitated and especially if they enjoyed it straight or on the rocks, my dad was a generouse home bar tender
but he had one friend who talked alot of bull s##t so dad would decant the Wilson's into the better bottle just for him and he never knew the difference
That poster dares to go where no poster has gone before, totally tone deaf and blind to the cringe he has created. It may never even occur to him that some people buy the luxury item they want without regard to more expensive models. I guess that is the difference between buying what you want for your own pleasure, and buying what you think other people want to impress them.
Two, he was making a comment about the state of the luxury watch market and (especially if this was Rolex or another brand operating on a similar scarcity model) literally getting into the game. Many people who want to buy Rolex have accepted that the way to do it now is to purchase pieces you may not want to buy your way up to the less accessible ones.
Does that make sense? Trying to come up with a plausible alternate explanation and honestly from what I’ve seen on watch forums lately all the talk is about developing relationships with ADs to get the grail watch you really want one day. If the poster was coming from that mentality it could explain a lot.
